Geez, GB...I don't think I have read this many words from you since SYFY, CAPRICA/BSG forum days!
I guess you must really like x-files
------------------------------------
As far as getting the fringe shows we want, well, I'd gladly put up with a bit of 'shipping' or some other bits of modern day TV for an otherwise solid piece of entertainment.
In a way, this is how I approach viewing THE 100--know that being about young adults then shipping will be present, it makes it easier to enjoy the rest of the show.
If Xfiles is to return-with whomever in the roles-I would be satisfied with this type of formula...say 10% shipping,10% product placement and 80% story
